Six edibles, five made from Cannabutter and one straight from the oven. None of them hits straight away: this page covers what each one takes, how strong it comes out, when it kicks in and what it does — and why your brownie "isn't working yet".

It isn't working!

It is — it just hasn't started. An edible kicks in somewhere between 45 seconds and 4:20 after you eat it, depending on the butter's grade, and a Rough one most likely takes about two minutes. The first sign is your legs going heavy (Slowness); the good part follows over the next thirty seconds. Until then nothing shows, not even an effect icon.

So eat one, and wait. Eating a second because the first "isn't working" is a mistake the game will let you make — here is what it does. Your first edible earns Give It an Hour, which is the advice.

The six edibles

	Edible	Made from	Per butter	Potency	Hunger · saturation
	Cannabutter Toast	Bread + Cannabutter, any arrangement	3	butter's tier, one lower	2 · 1.2
	Space Cookie	shaped, below	8	one lower	2 · 0.4
	Space Brownie	shaped, below	4	the butter's tier	4 · 2.4
	Space Cake	shaped, below — a cake you place	1 cake, 7 slices	the butter's tier	2 · 0.4 a slice
	Dawamesk	Cannabutter + Sugar + Honey Bottle + Sweet Berries, any arrangement	1	one higher	6 · 7.2
	Bucket of Bhang	2 Decarboxylated Hemp + a milk bucket + Sugar, any arrangement	— (no butter)	always I	6 · 3.6

One butter spreads over eight cookies or concentrates into a single dawamesk, and that dilution is what sets them apart: every edible gives the same effects, only the tier and the length move. All of them can be eaten on a full stomach — except the Space Cake, which, like any cake, wants you hungry. Every edible shows its Potency (I–IV) and Quality in its tooltip, and stacks only with others of the same potency and quality. JEI or REI (and EMI on Minecraft 1.21.1) show every recipe in game.

Space Cookie — eight from one butter, the most dilute of the lot:

F C F
  B

F = Hemp Flour · C = Cocoa Beans · B = Cannabutter → 8 Space Cookie

Space Brownie — cocoa-forward where the cookie is flour-forward:

C F C
S B S

C = Cocoa Beans · F = Hemp Flour · S = Sugar · B = Cannabutter → 4 Space Brownie

Space Cake — vanilla's cake with the butter in the middle of the milk row:

M B M
S E S
F F F

M = Milk Bucket or Bucket of Hemp Milk · B = Cannabutter · S = Sugar · E = Egg · F = Hemp Flour → Space Cake (both buckets come back empty)

Hemp Flour is one hemp seed of any strain, crafted on its own — see Hemp Food. Cannabutter Toast works with any Bread, and is three slices from one loaf. The Dawamesk recipe gives you the empty glass bottle back. Bhang has its own section.

Potency: how strong

Potency is the edible's tier, I to IV. It comes from the butter's Dose (its strength), turned into a tier and then nudged by the dish:

Butter's Dose	1–6	7–12	13–18	19–24
Butter's tier	I	II	III	IV
Cannabutter Toast, Space Cookie	I	I	II	III
Space Brownie, Space Cake	I	II	III	IV
Dawamesk	II	III	IV	IV
Bucket of Bhang	I	I	I	I

Toast and cookies are the gentle end; brownies and cake keep the butter's tier; Dawamesk is the only edible stronger than its butter, so it makes the most of a mediocre batch. Potency never goes below I or above IV. The butter's grade (Rough, Standard, Clean or Perfect) is copied to the edible unchanged.

When it hits

How long the wait is depends on the grade of the butter the edible was made with:

Quality	Earliest	Most likely	Latest	On average
Rough	0:45	2:00	4:20	2:22
Standard	0:55	1:40	3:15	1:57
Clean	1:05	1:30	2:15	1:37
Perfect	1:27	1:30	1:33	1:30

Times from the moment you finish eating. Any moment in the window can come up, most often the "most likely" one, less and less often towards either end. The worse the butter, the wider and later the wait: a Rough edible can catch you out early, and about one in five takes longer than three minutes. A Perfect one comes up at a minute and a half, give or take three seconds, every time.

Why so late? Eaten, cannabis takes the long way round through digestion, which is why real edibles are famous for arriving late — and for people eating a second one too soon.

Note: Changed in 2.1. On 2.0.x every edible came up between 0:30 and 3:00, whatever the butter.

The come-up

Nothing arrives all at once. Once the edible kicks in, the effects land over thirty seconds, in the order a real edible presents — the same for every edible, tier and grade:

After it kicks in	What arrives	How you notice
+0:00	Slowness	your legs go heavy — the tell that it has started
+0:08	Absorption and Resistance	the padded, settled body: extra hearts, less damage
+0:20	Hunger	the munchies
+0:30	Regeneration	the peak — a short burst of healing

Everything but Regeneration then ends together, so the high has one clear finish.

What it does

Effect	Arrives	Potency I	II	III	IV	Lasts
Slowness	at once	I	I	II	II	to the end of the high — from Perfect butter, I at every tier
Absorption	+0:08	I	II	II	II	to the end
Resistance	+0:08	I	I	I	I	to the end
Hunger	+0:20	I	I	I	I	to the end
Regeneration	+0:30	I	I	I	I	5 / 10 / 15 / 20 seconds

Absorption I is two extra hearts and II is four; Resistance I takes a fifth off the damage you take. The edible bundle is the same whichever strain went into the butter — strain stops mattering at the oven door.

Absorption stops at II because of the server's maxBuffLevel setting (default 2), the same cap smoking's helpful effects obey. A server that raises it to 4 gets Absorption III and IV back at tiers III and IV — see Settings and data.

How long it lasts

The higher the potency, the longer the high — not the harder. The grade sets the length of a tier-IV high, and lower tiers get a share of it (62.5%, 75%, 87.5%):

Quality	Potency I	II	III	IV
Rough	1:53	2:15	2:38	3:00
Standard	2:49	3:23	3:56	4:30
Clean	3:45	4:30	5:15	6:00
Perfect	5:00	6:00	7:00	8:00

Measured from the moment it kicks in, rounded to the second. That is how long the Slowness lasts; Absorption and Resistance end with it, eight seconds shorter, and Hunger twenty.

Quality buys certainty and time, never strength. A better grade means a steadier and, on average, sooner come-up and a longer high; the helpful effects are exactly as strong from Rough butter as from Perfect. The one thing a Perfect grade softens is the couch-lock: it never slows you past Slowness I.

Edibles timeline

A tier-IV edible — a Space Brownie or Space Cake from top-strength butter, say — at the most likely onset for each grade:

After you eat it	Rough	Standard	Clean	Perfect
Legs go heavy (Slowness)	2:00	1:40	1:30	1:30
Absorption and Resistance	2:08	1:48	1:38	1:38
Hunger	2:20	2:00	1:50	1:50
Regeneration, for 20 s	2:30	2:10	2:00	2:00
All over	5:00	6:10	7:30	9:30
…but it can kick in anywhere from	0:45 to 4:20	0:55 to 3:15	1:05 to 2:15	1:27 to 1:33

Slowness II for the three lower grades, Slowness I for Perfect. Shift every row by however much earlier or later your edible kicks in.

Space Cake

The Space Cake is a cake you place, and it behaves like vanilla's:

• Seven slices, and every slice is a full dose at the cake's potency and grade, for whoever eats it. One butter, seven doses: the cake is the one to share.
• You have to be hungry to take a slice, as with any cake. Each slice is 2 hunger and 0.4 saturation.
• Clicking it with a candle (or anything else) just takes a slice; it never turns into a candle cake.
• Breaking it drops nothing, as with vanilla's cake, so put it somewhere you mean to leave it. It stacks to 1.

A slice of cake doesn't count towards Give It an Hour — it is a block you eat from, not an item.

Bucket of Bhang

The Bucket of Bhang is the one that skips the butter: the plant worked straight into milk, the way bhang has been made in India for centuries, where it is still drunk at Holi.

Any arrangement of 2 Decarboxylated Hemp + a milk bucket + Sugar → one Bucket of Bhang. The milk can be cow's, a Bucket of Hemp Milk, or another mod's milk; the bucket goes into the bhang rather than coming back. The hemp has to be plain Decarboxylated Hemp: washed or scorched hemp does not go in.

• Always Potency I, always Rough: it kicks in anywhere from 0:45 to 4:20 and lasts 1:53.
• Immediate where the butter is slow. No Infuser, no fifteen-minute simmer: it needs nothing after the Decarboxylator but a crafting grid.
• Drunk, not eaten: two seconds, on a full stomach if you like, and you get the empty bucket back. 6 hunger, 3.6 saturation. It does not stack, and — unlike milk — it clears nothing.
• Your first earns Got Bhang?.

Dawamesk

Dawamesk is the concentrated one: a whole butter in a single sweet, one potency tier above its butter (so never below II). Any arrangement of Cannabutter + Sugar + Honey Bottle + Sweet Berries makes one, and gives the glass bottle back. It is the most filling edible (6 hunger, 7.2 saturation) and stacks to 16.

The name is the real one: the North African confection that the Club des Hashischins — Gautier, Baudelaire and friends — ate in Paris in the 1840s. Eating one earns Club des Hashischins.

Eating a second one

The game lets you. Each edible keeps its own clock, so both land — but they do not add up. When the second one's effects arrive they follow vanilla's rule for a second potion: a higher level replaces a lower one, and an equal level simply runs on if the new one would last longer.

So a second edible like the first makes the same high last longer — the Slowness and the munchies included — and never takes any effect above the level of the strongest single edible you ate. If you want a stronger high, eat a stronger edible.

Logging out, portals, milk and dying

What happens to an edible that is still on its way:

While you wait…	What happens
You log out, or the server restarts	It is saved with you. The wait pauses while you are away and picks up where it left off. New in 2.1 — on 2.0.x it was lost.
You go through a portal	It comes with you, to any dimension and back.
You drink milk or a Bucket of Hemp Milk, or a Totem of Undying saves you	Nothing: it is not an effect yet. Milk only clears effects already running.
You die	Lost — everything still on its way, along with the effects you had.

Once the effects have landed they are ordinary effects: milk clears them, death clears them, and a full green-out from smoking ends the helpful ones (Smoking).

Settings and data

Server owners can tune edibles in config/hempdustry.json, section effects (server-side; /hempdustry reload applies it):

Key	Default	What it does to edibles
enabled	true	false turns off every effect the mod gives, edibles included
maxLevel	4	caps the level of every effect
maxBuffLevel	2	caps helpful effects only — why Absorption stops at II; 4 brings III and IV back
durationMultiplier	1.0	scales the length of the high (0.05–10); Regeneration's short burst is not scaled
onsetMultiplier	1.0	scales the wait, window and all (0.05–10); the 30-second come-up after it is not scaled
munchies	true	false removes the Hunger
debuffs	true	false removes every harmful effect — the Slowness and the Hunger

Every number on this page — the onset windows, the lengths, the tier shares and the effect list — is data, in data/hempdustry/hempdustry/edible/default.json, and a datapack can replace it. It is read when the world opens, so a change needs a restart; /reload does not pick it up. More on Configuration and Datapacks.

The shipped numbers, in ticks

Quality	onset_ticks min	mode	max	duration_ticks
rough	900	2400	5200	3600
standard	1100	2000	3900	5400
clean	1300	1800	2700	7200
perfect	1740	1800	1860	9600

tier_share is [0.625, 0.75, 0.875, 1.0]. The onset is a triangle over min–mode–max. Each effect has an amplifier_by_tier (Slowness [0,0,1,1], with amplifier_by_quality perfect [0,0,0,0]; Absorption [0,1,2,3]; Resistance, Hunger and Regeneration [0,0,0,0]) and an arrives_ticks (0, 160, 160, 400, 600); Regeneration alone has a duration_by_tier of [100, 200, 300, 400]. The rest end with the high.
